(this has been the case for at least a pretty long while.)
Not for me; I've always seen "turn off notifications". Maybe you need to have navigated away and back?
-
@Yamikuronue Navigating doesn't affect it. I usually got there by clicking the notification that it generated because they're on. (Several times... to the point where I finally got tired of them and wanted to turn them off.)
So the bug only exists for certain users. That's even more -tastic.

Damn Visual Studio Team should stop screwing with Solitaire.

@anotherusername it's been iffy for me, but the Facebook site seems to be falling apart. Clicking on notifications doesn't consistently bring me to the right post/comments etc.

They converted Facebook to NodeBB ?

@loopback0 actually, maybe the glitch only applies to the menu on its photo viewer.
On a post, I actually do see:
But image posts load in that full-window photo viewer, and the menu there is wrong initially. (It's also a different menu; it doesn't have the other options that the one in the screenshot above has.)

On sale now! For a whooping 0% discount!

well, they said it was on sale. it is, you can purchase it. discounts are a separate discussion.

Psst, it's "for sale", sweetheart.

that's good to know, but i already own it. thanks for the heads up though.

PSST. "On sale" means "for sale" as well as "for sale at a discount".

I don't think I've ever seen something advertised as" on sale" without a discount implied. Apparently it's a British thing?

Must be the Scots who came up with that

As in "correct" - yes.
When you start selling something, it goes "on sale". I think it meaning discount is originally American.

ah, I don't comment on a lot of photos. I tend to just like and move on.

Did they intentionally place the car in the fourth screenshot so it looks like the man has a frighteningly large penis?

It seems like a recent chrome update (56?) made it a lot more sensitive to dragging something (especially links) when you click and happen to move or be moving the mouse. Recently I find myself dragging stuff around almost as often as a click is registered as I intended.

It might be their new Young Whippersnapper(tm) technology, that makes their browser operate at the speed of a Millennial's attention span.

Under normal circumstances, I'd suggest this:
(Or for console junkies:)
But it seems Chrome is TOTALLY ignoring the de-facto windows setting for how-far-away-you-need-to-drag-your-mouse-before-it's-considered-a-real-drag. You know, the one that's been there since probably Windows XP or even before!

Yes, it's definitely chrome doing it. So it's happening on Windows, too?

So is it sold separately, or does it run without one?

Chrome is a strong independent platform who don't need no OS conventions.

Since nobody wants to make UWP programs and our future depend on it, we'll have to figure out a way to have them made...

@TimeBandit Haha, joke's on them. Getting the requirements is the hard part.

Called DeepCoder, the software can take requirements by the developer, search through a massive database of code snippets and deliver working code in seconds, a significant advance in the state of the art in program synthesis.
...and vulnerable to the left-pad attack, no doubt.

Some convenience stores are open 24/7 and 365 days per year.
Why do they have locks on the door ?

For the 366th day in bissexile years.

@TimeBandit So they can close the store in times of emergency.

I believe they're working towards a version which can post questions on StackOverflow that don't get arbitrarily closed.

If I print them off using my printer, I still have to pay the ticket company the same as when the ticket company has to print and post it.

@loopback0
I hate that shit!
And an administrative fee for paying with a card. On a website. Like, it's not one of the best ways to make sure as a seller that you'll get your money or something.
-
@RaceProUK it would be easier to divide the requirements into very small coding tasks and offer internetpointzzz for people that code them, like what makes people answer stackoverflow questions.

The transaction fee isn't a delivery charge. It's a convenience charge for buying them online.

Those are annoying, but I've only ever found them on loans, taxes, and that sort of stuff, where they've already kind of got you cornered and you have to pay them. They dogmatically refuse to get any less than the amount owed, so if there's a transaction charge on top of a payment, the customer has to pay it -- like hell is it coming out of the end amount they get.

It's convenient for the seller. A website is a lot cheaper then having all those people phone in to buy tickets or have physical selling locations.

OneNote is telling me that there are edit conflicts, even though this page is only synced across two devices and one of them has been offline since long before I started editing on the other one, and I can see the changes I made so I know it actually synced correctly.
This is why you should be able to punch programs.

Fuck fuck fuck. Found a @blakeyrat error.
A bug would only manifest when data was loaded in a particular order. There was no explicit sorting being done in the query and I couldn't get the problem to reproduce in my development or QA environment, but it was happening in production and user acceptance testing environments.
The bug happens far far down stream and there's no obvious reason why the loading order would matter. Now I have to figure out is going on and fix it, but at least my Friday has already been productive.
-

Cards charge fees to the vendors. Explicitly showing the payment method costs (which include fees, risks, etc) to the customers is the rational thing to do and benefits both parties. The only WTF here is not having any better payment methods.
(However the fees should be clearly shown beforehand and included on the advertised price, otherwise it's fraud)

They're only available online. There's also a £2.50 booking fee per ticket.
